On Sunday, June 8, Angle RNLI assisted a 33ft steel hulled yacht with engine failure off Newton Noyes Jetty, Milford Haven.

The anchor was dragging and the strong westerly wind was pushing the yacht ashore.

The Milford Haven Harbour Patrol vessel was already on scene and had transferred a crew member onboard.

After an assessment of the situation and with the vessel posing a hazard to navigation, the crew set about rigging a tow. The yacht’s skipper recovered his anchor and the crew soon had the casualty vessel under tow, bound for Neyland Marina.

Arriving off the entrance to the marina around 30 minutes later, the vessel was transferred into an alongside tow and left safely alongside the visitors pontoon.
